DistilBook makes complete explainer videos from whatever you have: a document, an article link, or a written prompt. It scripts the video, illustrates every slide in one of 19 styles, hand-drawn whiteboard or motion graphics, narrates it in your chosen voice and language, and renders an MP4. First slide in about 6 minutes; agencies charge $2,000 to $10,000 and take weeks for the same deliverable.
You start free: signing up gives you 10 credits with no credit card, a slide costs 10 credits, so the first slide of your video generates free and you can watch it in full; the rest unlocks on a paid plan. DistilBook accepts PDF, Word, images, plain text, a web article link, or a written prompt, and you approve the AI narration script before anything renders. Paid plans start at $20 per month for 230 credits, roughly 23 slides, which removes the watermark and unlocks MP4 export at up to 1440p. Narration is available in 20 languages, and the ai explainer video maker output can carry your own logo and brand colors. Whiteboard and motion videos can be made in 16:9 landscape or in 9:16 vertical for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Since April 2026, more than 1,400 people have made over 2,800 videos with DistilBook, most of them from PDFs.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an explainer video with AI?
Give DistilBook your source material or a prompt, approve the script it drafts, pick a visual style, and generate. The output is a narrated, animated, subtitled video, not a slideshow with stock footage.
What does an explainer video normally cost?
Agencies typically charge $2,000 to $10,000 per minute of finished animation. DistilBook plans start at $20 per month with per-slide credits, so a full explainer costs a few dollars in credits.
Which languages are supported?
Narration works in 20 languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, Greek, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean. Subtitles follow the narration language.
Can I edit the video after it generates?
Yes: rerun any slide, edit slide images with AI instructions, rewrite narration, retitle sections, and adjust reveals, then re-render.
Is there a watermark?
Free previews carry a watermark. Paid renders are watermark-free at up to 1440p.
